Bitcoin correction: How to strategically position your portfolio
After a weak October, many investors are eagerly awaiting November – traditionally one of the strongest months for Bitcoin. However, the recent price correction has dashed investors' hopes for now. What should you do now – and which coins should you invest in? With the BTC-ECHO model portfolio, we aim to provide guidance, transparently mapping all purchase levels, target prices, and transactions – including history, performance tracking, and strategic analysis. Market expert Stefan Lübeck – with over ten years of experience as a trader and chart analyst – is the active portfolio manager.
The crypto portfolio always displays eight to ten coins and records planned purchases and purchase levels. It forms the basis for a systematic, transparent investment strategy. The portfolio is currently still under development.
Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies under macro analysis: What's currently driving prices
The crypto market is currently undergoing a significant correction. Bitcoin is down four percent, Ethereum six percent, while altcoins like Solana are losing up to nine percent. Almost all cryptocurrencies are trading in negative territory. In the last 24 hours, more than one billion US dollars worth of leveraged positions have been liquidated. Bitcoin's price drop below 105,000 US dollars triggered a domino effect; BTC is currently trading at just under 103,000 US dollars. The Fear & Greed Index, at 21 points, indicates a high level of anxiety.
The decline is also influenced by US monetary policy. The Federal Reserve has signaled that monetary easing is proceeding more slowly than expected. Nevertheless, the probability of a second interest rate cut currently stands at 71 percent. At the same time, the US dollar index DXY rose to its highest level since August 1, 2025, putting pressure on risk assets such as tech stocks and cryptocurrencies. Investors are shifting capital into US Treasury bonds.
This is how the portfolio is currently structured (based on a $100,000 base).
The model portfolio is currently invested in one coin: Bitcoin, the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization. The stablecoin Tether (USDT) currently serves as a tactical cash reserve.

We carried out these transactions this week
To build the portfolio, two transactions were carried out this week: a general “cash reserve” in the form of the stablecoin USDT and an initial purchase of Bitcoin.
The exact purchase levels are always displayed in the app, as shown in the image above. To reflect these cryptocurrency purchases in your portfolio, we recommend the cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase, where new customers can currently receive a welcome bonus of €30.
Performance Check: How the portfolio performed this week
Bitcoin has declined slightly since purchase, with the BTC position down 0.84 percent. Tether (USDT) is fluctuating minimally and therefore shows a slight gain in the portfolio. Overall, the portfolio is up 0.12 percent since the start of the investment at the time of writing.
Coin positions in focus: Our individual assessment
- Bitcoin (BTC): Bitcoin is in danger of falling below the $100,000 mark.
- Tether (USDT) : Although the stablecoin fluctuates minimally, it is pegged to the US dollar. Therefore, there is no risk of it losing value.
Our current strategy: Wait and see – price dips are used to expand the portfolio.
Lower lows and the breaking of key support levels suggest a temporary end to the bull market rally. Therefore, an initial position has been opened near the $90,600 support level. To capitalize on price consolidations, the current stablecoin holdings will be maintained for the time being. Despite increased volatility, seasonal tailwinds suggest rising prices through the year. Price pullbacks to key support levels, such as those seen with Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other cryptocurrencies, will be used in the coming weeks to build further positions.
Here's what we can expect this trading week
The upcoming release of the US services purchasing managers' indices is likely to cause continued trading volatility tomorrow, Wednesday. We are particularly monitoring ETF inflows and technical levels for BTC and ETH.
